    Nice looking pup.

    Been there done that. I now have an umbrella with a stand and a retractable awning. ;)

    @BkerChuck TY for sharing the pics. In 76 I bought a KZ900 I was also looking at a Suzy Rotary. With my hindsight today I should have bought the Suzy Rotary.

    Good morning. I am feeling well and happy with my progress. My walks are getting longer. My daily step count is at 7000. I do not believe the count, from my phone, is accurate but it is constant.

    Not sure if the rotary would have been a good move or not. As I understand they were pretty complicated and difficult to work on hence the 2 year only run. Former coworker here had one when I first started this job, he'd owned it for years. He had it for sale for a long time and I even tried helping put the word out for him but those are really a niche market bike. He ended up donating it to the Antique Auto Club of America museum in Hershey, PA. He got a really good tax deduction for his donation and a lifetime membership to the museum including special invitation only events for him and a guest. I went and saw it and sent him pictures once it was on display.

    in 1976 at a red light on Ritchie Hgwy, I came up behind a KZ900 and a big Harley, when the light turned green, that cow took off and left that hog rooting round on the asphalt, 2 weeks later I sold my 500 Yamaha to my brother, and bought a KZ900......

    Morning all:

    Happy birthday Bill! :hbd:

    :fingerscrossed: also for the wife Mark.

    I finally gots teeth :D, definitely different and will take a while to get used to.

    When I went up to my buddy for the Walleye chowder he had also invited a guy that I went to Maine with, and who hunts near where he hunts. Was good to see him, and he said he's doing ok after having two knee replacements, shoulder surgery, a plate in his neck, one hand starting to shake, and on top of that, surviving Viet Nam as a purple heart recipient! He also lost his wife a few years ago and I think that was worse on him than all the other stuff combined, she hunted and fished and was both his wife and his buddy, needless to say that he really misses her! :(
